Arboretum Campus

Located on the banks of the Seine in Nanterre La Défense, one of the municipalities of Greater Paris, Arboretum "La ville forêt" is a campus designed by its developers to "move from talk to action in the low-carbon transition". Its 125,000 m² of office and service space is divided into 7 buildings built largely from CLT solid wood to limit carbon emissions, making it one of the largest wood campuses in Europe.

It offers immediate and permanent contact with nature thanks to 25 hectares of surrounding green spaces, including a 9-hectare private park, a biodiversity area that joins the Seine and also hosts gardens, a kitchen garden and an orchard capable of producing 10 tonnes of fruit and vegetables a year. Nearly 1,000 trees and shrubs were planted as part of the project. The campus is also exemplary from an energy point of view. Its heating and air-conditioning needs are 80% covered by geothermal energy.

Artelia is proud to have supported developers WO2 and BNP Paribas Real Estate in this ambitious project. Our teams were in charge of project management (energy, environment, carbon) for the Arboretum campus, as well as managing the certification process. It is now the largest tertiary complex to be awarded the BBCA (B timent Bas Carbone) label at the Excellent level. It has also achieved the E2C2 level of the E+C- label. Even though the project was designed before the RE 2020 (French environmental regulations) came into force, it can claim to be close to the RE 2028 threshold.
